Save enum to SharedPreference

You can use a simple String for it and then extract the value using the method valueOf. Here is an example:

public enum MyEnum {
    ENUM1, ENUM2, ENUM3, ENUM4;

    public static MyEnum toMyEnum (String myEnumString) {
        try {
            return valueOf(myEnumString);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
                // For error cases
            return ENUM1;
        }
    }
}

public void setMyEnum(Context context, MyEnum myEnum) {
    SharedPreferences sp = context.getPreferences(this.MODE_PRIVATE);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sp.edit();
    editor.putString("MyEnum", myEnum.toString());
    editor.commit();
}

public MyEnum getMyEnum(Context context) {
    SharedPreferences sp = context.getPreferences(this.MODE_PRIVATE);
    String myEnumString = sp.getString("MyEnum", MyEnum.ENUM1.toString());
    return MyEnum.toMyEnum(myEnumString);
}

Here is the sample code which you can see how does it works.
